You are assuming that I (and others in this discussion) do not know how to figure out wild card masks, which is not the focus of the question. Please, take a step back and really try to listen. I appreciate your opinion and I am very grateful that you are taking the time help. But, you are not really listening.
Does Cisco want the smallest ACL or a practical answer to this question? I do not want to be in the Lab with a question like this and attack it with the wrong perspective. In addition, I made an attempt to "figure it out" on my own -Yes, I did use the BOSON to check my answer - nothing wrong with that. I asked the question to invite a technical discussion to attack the question as a "Team". The level of experience among members of the discussion group is irrelevant to me. I just wanted a serious attempt to answer the question and not to be talk down too. Just to let you know I have failed the CCIE lab exam twice and I do not want to fail it again (like I can control that, though). I have my own opinion as to how Cisco wants the question answered, but I would like to hear from other experts, like yourself, in order to stay on track - call it a sanity check. In this way I can compare notes and make the best decision in order to be prepared for the next lab attempt. Anyway, working together, we should be able to tackle this - thanks Ted P.S. What's confusing to me is how Cisco's answer is not very practical. When working on routing protocols, the rules cannot be half-a**ed . But, this question is very misleading - at least from a practical viewpoint. I mean, suppose you get answer that is two ACL lines in size, but it blocks even more networks than the answer above. One could argue that it is also correct - just a bit more general than Cisco's answer. Seems too subjective to me. If that is the way it is - oh well. Any comments?
